Corey Briggs named as AIHA Fellow

The NEAIHA Executive Committee is pleased to announce that Corey Briggs has been named as an AIHA Fellow by AIHA’s Awards Committee and Board of Directors.

Corey has been a long-time member of both AIHA and the New England Local Section, and has made significant contributions to both the IH profession and to our local section. Only five percent of the AIHA membership can qualify for the Fellow Award, so we are very proud of Corey.

Corey will be honored, along with other 2013 AIHA Fellows, at this year’s AIHce in Montreal, during the General Session on Wednesday, May 22.

Please join us in congratulating Corey on this special recognition.

  

  


ABIH Discontinues Reviews of the CM Point Requests for Category 4 Education Events

ABIH has discontinued all CM point request reviews for Category 4 Education events (with one exception as noted below). Instead, individuals will have to calculate their own CM points.  ABIH plans on providing additional information and guidance such as updated CM worksheets, point calculation tools, and guidance documents.  ABIH posted an initial announcement in November and an update in December

NEAIHA will assist in easing this transition and ensure that meeting agendas show the number of hours of technical content and calculated CM points. 


Emails and Other Communication

We are doing almost all of our communication electronically these days.  Please let us know if you are not receiving email correspondence of if your contact information changes.  Contact NEAIHA Secretary Debra Gursha at debra.gursha@umb.edu with any changes.
